Always possible. But I can point to similar nonsense that has been displayed in notable modern art museums for a long time.
This gem, which is in the permanent collection of The Modern in Ft Worth and consists of a commercially available single bulb fluorescent light installed on a wall at about a 45 degree angle. It's plugged in and lit.
Fortunately, it's not currently on display, wasting wall space.
